Bank of Ireland Enterprise Week begins today and as part of the scheme, business owners will be invited to show off their wares in branches of the bank.

Business owner Samantha Bogle, who sells personalised vintage farm items in her business, Lily Annabella, said she had benefited from showing off her products in branches last year. Ms Bogle, from Castlederg in Co Tyrone, will display her products at the Bank of Ireland on University Road in Belfast.

She will then go on the road and bring her goods to branches in Dublin, Letterkenny and Donegal town as part of a bid to break into the market in the Republic.

She was joined by Sean Sheehan, the bank's regional director for consumer and small business.
